Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac review

System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: September 26, 2025
Developer: Now Production
Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment

Pac-Man World Re-Pac was a huge surprise for dedicated fans of the franchise when it was first revealed in 2022. Pac-Man World was a big hit on the original PlayStation – it was remembered fondly for its charm, level design, and soundtrack – but most of all, it showed players that the IP could be more than your typical maze game. That remake was great and all, it gave hope that we’d see Bandai Namco revisit Pac-Man World 2, which is the fan favorite of the trilogy. 23 years later, here we are with a full remake that Pac-Man once thought was an impossibility with Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac.
